Wrong APA format

flipjuice
For sixth edition APA, book with author and editor should appear like this:
Graham, C. (2014). Healthy diet in adults. In T. Lipman, (Ed.), UpToDate. Retrieved from http://www.uptodate.com/contents/healthy-diet-in-adults

Currently Zotero's arrangement looks like this:

Graham, C. (2014). Healthy diet in adults. (T. Lipman, Ed.). UpToDate. Retrieved from http://www.uptodate.com/contents/healthy-diet-in-adults

Please fix, or show me how to automate

    Make sure your styles are up to date via Preferences -> General -> Update Now.

    I get
    Colditz, G. A. (2014). Healthy diet in adults. In T. O. Lipman (Ed.), UpToDate. Retrieved from http://www.uptodate.com/contents/healthy-diet-in-adults
    with APA 6th, which looks right (I think you have the author entered incorrectly in Zotero)

    Oh, I see how you may get that output. I see that you actually did use book for this. Try book section (given that Lipman is a "section editor") where UpToDate is a book title rather than a series title.

    edit: and yes, that doesn't look right for a book in a series, so we'll fix it. From the manual, the relevant example, I think would be
    Electronic version of book chapter in a volume in a series
    Strong, E. K., Jr., & Uhrbrock, R. S. (1923). Bibliography on job analysis. In L. Outhwaite (Series Ed.), Personnel Research Series: Vol. 1. Job analysis and
    the curriculum     (pp. 140-146). doi:10.1 037/10762-000
    (though obviously Zotero can't do volume title at this time) or
    Entry in an online reference work
    Graham, G. (2005). Behaviorism. In E. N. Zalta (Ed.), The Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy (Fall 2007 ed.). Retrieved from http://plato.stanford.edu/entries
    /behaviorism/
